Aluminum Bronze Rod
Aluminum bronze rod is the conductor material where mechanical strength and wear resistance matter alongside conductivity, typically in sliding-contact appl...
Conductive rods and conductors carry current through MV switchgear assemblies,from the cable termination through the breaker contacts to the outgoing bus. Material choice matters: pure copper has the highest conductivity but is mechanically softer; aluminum bronze is harder and more wear-resistant but loses some conductivity; CuW handles arc-exposed segments without melting. Most MV current paths use copper for the bulk of the run and bronze or CuW for the arc-exposed or sliding-contact segments. We supply conductive rod and conductor elements in copper (C10100 / C11000 OFC and ETP grades), aluminum bronze (C95400), and as machined components combining multiple materials. For CuW rod, see the Copper Tungsten Series.
